A private barber at The Culver Hotel

This flatiron-shaped building has stood in downtown Culver City since 1924. It housed cast members during the filming of The Wizard of Oz and keeps much of its early Hollywood charm. A grand lobby bar anchors the ground floor.

Its proximity to Sony Pictures and other studios makes it a natural stop for talent and crew who need a cut before shooting. The visit is quiet and contained: a cape, a clean station by the window, and a finished cut in well under the time it takes to go down to the lobby and back.

One call. One text. A sharper you.

Ben holds licenses in barbering and cosmetology in multiple states. Before Los Angeles he built and ran four barbershops, and his chair has since followed entertainers on tour and onto television and music video sets. Rod Wave, Polo G and Lamar Odom are among the names who have sat with him. Expect fades blended without a visible line, tapers that grow out cleanly, line-ups drawn with a steady hand and beards shaped to the jaw. Straight hair, waves, curls and locs all get the same attention.

The Culver Hotel sits at 9400 Culver Blvd in Culver City, close to Sony Pictures Studios, Culver Steps and Kirk Douglas Theatre. Ben works across the neighborhood and nearby Playa Vista, Century City and Baldwin Hills, so moving from a hotel room to a home or a set later in the day is no trouble.

Booking is direct, with no app and no form: call or text Ben at 608-201-7717. Cuts start at $150, $300 is standard from 11am to 7pm, and the final price reflects travel distance and the hour. He is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
